Catrike Reviews
-
In 2019 Catrike introduced their most economical recumbent trike, the Eola. In 2021 they discontinued it. Much like their earlier Trail design the Eola is a tadpole trike with a simplified version of Catrike’s space frame and 20-inch wheels all around. This helps them keep the price and weight down. The frame is very light…

“Villager” is a good name for this affordable, versatile Catrike. Urban/suburban riders will find its higher seat, upright seat back and tall ground clearance handy in traffic. The Villager’s 12.5” seat height makes it one of the highest tadpole trikes on the market, right up there with the Ice “Adventure” and ideal for riders looking…

The Trail is a Catrike built for riders on a budget. It brings Catrike back to the price point they started at in 2000, considerably lower once you factor in inflation. Like all Catrikes the Trail is still made in the US.

The pocket is the smallest trike Catrike makes. It is designed to be a performance tadpole trike with good fit and weight distribution for riders from ~5′ to ~5’8”. Riders near the shorter end of that scale may need shorter cranks than the stock 165mm arms on the pocket to eliminate heel strike on the…

Catrike began with the Road as the performance trike in the Catrike line-up. It is still their middle of the road, suits a lot of riders, versatile trike. Not a race horse, the Catrike Road has less recline than the Speed or 700, for the less radical rider. At 33 lb it’s weighs the same…

The Expedition is rugged enough for commuting or touring but it is faster than some more expensive “performance” trikes. With a 26” rear wheel it has high gears (25” to 130”!) with standard size chainrings that will shift well.

The Catrike 700 may be the fastest recumbent trike available, certainly the fastest for under $3000. It is light, low and has a 700c rear wheel for lower rolling resistance and smoother riding. It is much faster and lighter than some more expensive “performance” trikes.

The Pre 2012 villager has been replaced. “Villager” is a good name for this affordable, versatile Catrike. Urban/suburban riders will find its higher seat, upright seat back and tall ground clearance handy in traffic. The Villager’s 12.5” seat height makes it one of the highest tadpole trikes on the market, right up there with the…

The Catrike Speed began as the high-performance trike in the growing Catrike line-up. Things went along just fine till the 700 came out and set a new standard for moderate price and immoderate speed. This left the Speed with somewhat of an identity crisis, who was it for?
